Anyone else experienced markings at the back of their dropper posts, presumably due to crap getting kicked up from the rear wheel. I've just noticed about 6 or 7 small chips on mine.

Am I right in assuming that it wouldn't really matter as much if happened on a fork, ie not going to be any oil in there to leak out is there? Its a KS 900 btw?

My joplin did the same thing, makes no difference to the post, like you say there is no oil/ air seal made on the outer. Probably means it'll have a bit more friction going down, but like that'll matter !

My Solution.

Stops crap getting trapped in it and can be washed/lubed as normal
